(TSXV: ROOF) (OTCQB: ROOOF) (\"Northstar\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the positive results of a second independent carbon dioxide equivalent (\"CO\n \n 2\n \n e\") life cycle assessment (\"LCA\") completed by Burgess Environmental Ltd. (\"Burgess\") for selected performance indicators for Northstar's planned scale up asphalt shingle reprocessing facility in\n \n Calgary, Alberta\n \n (\"Calgary Empower Facility\"). The LCA is based on sophisticated modeling from the front-end engineering design (\"FEED\") completed by BBA Inc. (\"BBA\"), Northstar's engineering consultant, on\n \n March 25, 2022\n \n . The LCA assessed the impacts and benefits of reprocessing asphalt shingles and compared them to the impacts and benefits related to the disposal of discarded or defective asphalt shingles in landfills and virgin production of asphalt shingles.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Highlights from the Calgary Empower Facility LCA:\n \n \n \n \n Based on the FEED design, the Calgary Empower Facility will have lower CO\n \n 2\n \n e emissions than landfilling and virgin production and therefore provides a sustainable industry solution for reusing asphalt shingles.\n \n \n Net estimated greenhouse gas emission savings of approximately 117 kg of CO\n \n 2\n \n e per 1 tonne of feedstock\n \n (1)\n \n .\n \n \n Net estimated CO\n \n 2\n \n e emission savings in the range of 3,500 tonnes to 4,700 tonnes of CO\n \n 2\n \n e per year\n \n (1)\n \n depending on production volume.\n \n \n \n \n C...
